An incident at a Walmart in Auburn is causing stores across the country to make some changes. A Lewiston father says he found a knife in his son’s birthday cake. Nathan Bibeau says when the family was cutting his son’s Elmo-themed birthday cake up, he found a pairing knife underneath the cake. The family called Walmart right away.

News 13 contacted Walmart, who released this response, “This should not have happened. We’re thankful no one was hurt and sincerely apologize to our customers for their experience. We are reaching out to the family to resolve this.”

Walmart says it is also taking immediate action to make sure this doesn’t happen again. The store is pulling that particular paring knife from its bakery in Auburn and considering pulling the knife from bakeries across the country. Bibeau tells News 13, Walmart did offer him a refund but he believes that’s still not enough.

“We’re not going to get that second birthday back,” said Bibeau. Bibeau says he has spoken with a lawyer and is considering legal action.
